Could you please help me with my Lower Cost Funeral, and advertise on my urn?This is exactly what a man who is dying of Colon Cancer is doing.

“What would you do to help your loved ones after you die?  A Springfield man, diagnosed with terminal cancer, is selling advertising space on his urn so his wife won’t have to worry about cremation costs.”

SPRINGFIELD, Ore. – Given just months to live, Aaron Jamison has set his mind on two missions.

The first is to spread a message of hope.  Jamison, who has terminal cancer, hands out purple bracelets that read “Cancer Sucks… Life is Good…Choose Joy” to people he meets.

The other mission is harder.  Jamison wants to pay for his cremation and urn costs before he dies so his wife Kristin won’t have to worry about it.

His plan is to sell advertising space on two urns that will hold his ashes – one for his wife and one for his parents.

“I’m on different chemo now,” said Jamison, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of colon cancer.  It has spread to his liver and lymph nodes.  ” If it works, I’ve got about nine months. If it doesn’t work, I’ve got three.  So I’m trying to get on the ball with the ad sales.”

The plan and his sense of humor are typical Aaron, say his wife and friends.

When others might cry, the musician and comedian finds a way to laugh.”via www.kval.com

A book written on  the LOWER COST FUNERAL was inspired by experiences Your Funeral Guy had at Calvert Metzler Funeral Home in Bloomington, Il.

The Book, Rest in Peace Insiders Tips to the Low Cost Less Stressed Funeral was endorsed by a  local Bloomington Normal Funeral Director Ed Cronic

R. Brian Burkhardt authored the book after unsettling experiences with Alex Calvert at the Funeral Home in Bloomington. Particularly Calvert’s Preneed or prepaid funeral policies caused the Calverts to pocket huge amounts of money on interest on preneed (Prepaid Funerals) “Growth on Services”. Many of the Monies came out of The IFDA Preneed Trust Fund- This was the SCANDAL RIDDEN Fund in the Nationally Reported Illinois Funeral Directors Association Preneed Ponzi Scheme.

When the “Fraud Soaked” High Paying”Commissions stopped rolling in Calvert Funeral Homes, LLC  filed a lawsuit Calvert Funeral Homes LLC et al against the Illinois Funeral Directors Association.

THE WORK AND THE NETWORK OF YOUR FUNERAL GUY BLOGS ARE PARTICULARLY STRONG ON THE OPPOSITION TO PREPAID or PRENEED FUNERALS.

A recent article in Memphis Tennessee is reporting that  recession or “Jobless Recovery” has folks turning to the Lower Cost Funeral. I is all happening at  a casket store in Memphis,Tn.

Fragile Economy "Jobless Recovery" has folks spending less on Funerals

“People say the widowed don’t shop. That’s a bunch of bull,” said Bartlett Funeral Home director Al Tacker, also the owner of Al Tacker’s Casket Store.

In his 42 years in the business, Tacker says he’s never seen the bereaved scrutinize funeral prices as they have in the last two years.

“People are not buying the metal and upper-priced caskets, vaults and services,” Tacker said.

Proving that not even death is recession proof, Tacker’s business has taken a hit as customers become more frugal in burying their loved ones.

He estimates his clients are spending about 15 percent less on funerals”-via www.commercialappeal.com

Your Funeral Guy’s  lower cost funeral  book-

Rest in Peace: Insider’s Tips to the Low Cost Less Stress Funeral

has received a positive review.

I just read several chapters of your book, Rest In Peace, and I agree with one of your reviewers, that this may well be one of the most important books ever written……

I also really enjoyed the very beginning when we find out that the first thing a new President does is make his plan for a state funeral
